The scoop: Ars Lyrica artistic director Matthew Dirst and mezzo soprano Cecilia Duarte performed a post-dinner concert of music for harpsichord and voice to the sellout gathering of music patrons. They sat at dinner tables lavishly decorated by Darryl & Co. and supped on gourmet fare from Abuso Catering, complemented with wine pairings from the Bairds' cellar.

While the Bairds served as hosts, Robin Angly and Miles Smith, Brendan and Kathryn Godfrey and Birgitt Van Wijk chaired the intimate gathering.
